The objectives are as follows: · To advocate interthought, interaction and interdisciplinarity to establish the importance of memory in the knowledge, review, understanding and analysis of social phenomena that have marked milestones in the vision of the world in the fields of Latin American culture in general, and Ecuadorian culture in particular, through the interconnections between the research areas of our members. · To preserve, revalue and disseminate the collective social memory in its various cultural manifestations in Latin America, from the seventeenth century to the twenty-first century. · Disseminate research projects and their relationship with the importance of social historical memory, which considers the search for transcendence and ethical coherence in cultural manifestations.
